*Stallone Tested and Approved: Singing, singing, and more singing! My son made Mommy sing through the entire week..which was great! What a fun Friday morning starter! We will definitely be singing this song again and again! I was really proud of Stallone for knowing most days, for I felt like our morning calendar practice has paid off! Yay, for CM!
